Welcome to the PDR Podcast, where we discuss all things prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks around the globe, whether naturally occurring, accidental, or intentional. The PDR Podcast is produced and maintained by Dr. Taylor Winkleman, current Coordinator of the Next Generation Global Health Security Network.
Episode 008: Doing is the Other Half of the Battle
This week we sit down with SynthRITE team and winners of last year's BIO Competition Gayatri Sanku, Sunshine Lucky Go, and Jarjieh Fang. Building an international team and writing a proposal is a hard thing to do well, so we sat down with the team that did it best last year to find out what the magic ingredients are. Turns out, it's not magic- just hard work. Have a listen.
